This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming.

For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.

This meeting will determine official government policies to take action against global warming, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol. It is the chance for the people of the world to make their voice heard.

Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.

In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote. Unlike any election in history, it is not about what country you’re from, but instead, what planet you’re from. VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday.

We all have a vote, and every single vote counts. Together we can take control of the future of our planet, for future generations.

VOTE EARTH by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.

Well Readers, if you don't know now you know.All of us here at the BTrain have a big interest in fashion,so Toronto Fashion Week was something i had to remember, although i couldn't attend any events, due to me being in Ottawa i made it my duty to KEEP up with everything that was going on, or at least most things.

I would have really loved to go to the Betsy Johnson Show--- AHH i love her.

as some of you may know , i follow Solange(Knowles)on Twitter. She has been posting about these Banana pants she was making, and i was WELL and curious as to what she was talking about, anyway she finally posted some picture links.

hate me, but i like emhe style is different--she continues to grow on me.

Ain't procrastination a motherfu...Once again this bitch has fucked up the motives for my week. I would like to put the onus on myself BUT I am more convinced now than ever that procrastination is a fatal disease that plagues millions of students world wide...how else do you explain all of us falling victim to "never getting our work done"?

They always say as the above image illustrates oh so clearly, to "never put off what you can do today til tomorrow" and ye it sounds nice and dandy when you have that motivation to or you just got back a great mark and are driven to finally put the pen to the pad...but how many of us really follow through? Shoot, I know for one that I don't. I am not even fini lie to ya'll. I said Friday after BASICALLY getting the answers and questions to my exam this Friday that I was going to start studying for my test tomorrow as well as my exam coming up...it's now Sunday 45 minutes from Monday, and I have yet to do so. What have I been doing all this time...fuck, I don't even know. I slept, I ate, I shat, I bathed, I kicked it with my ppls, I ate, and then repeated the cycle over again 2 days straight. In the span of 72 hours..it is completely sad and embarassing to say that I have not done shit, nothing productive all damn weekend. NOW AIN'T THAT A BITCH.

So to take accountability for my inaction, I decided to talk about procrastination in hopes that talking about it and acknowledging that I have procrastinated all weekend long on this studying, would lead to me actually getting my ass up out my seat and start studying if not even for an hour! People, please use me as an example. Do not end up like me and the millions of other students out there right now at 11:19 pm who are waiting til the wire to get shit accomplished. Not only is it a horrible feeling, but it's really a bad habit to acquire that will follow you into your future endeavours if you so as make it that far before a)burning out b)killing yourself or c)giving up, and for us all I hope it's the latter if so be.

Now that I have provided my public announcement to the youth of North America and beyond, I shall practice what I preach and hit them books.

duhnn kill me, i saw this awhile ago, but couldn't take it, so now i can...lmfao... I can't even front, they are sick, and secertly some of the outfits look cute.. Jamaica too the WORLLD.. if i was at this party, oh man, it looks soo fun!

So this entire weekend, I've been working and researching for my research argumentative essay ( yes, RESEARCH) and because of that I missed my best friends birthday party back in Toronto ( sorry RELLO i love you), didn't go to this poppin party last night here in ottawa, and stayed up so late. and the thing about it is that im not upset. Through it all, God was on my side because my professor gave me an extension, and I didnt even have to ask for it, this is great, so now i dont have to rush my essay for tomorroe ( monday) and settle for like a 70% and I can strive to get a 90% or something, I'm so excited, I guess me staying home and know what is more important, school work over leisure, having my priorites straight that the Lord blessed me with an extension, Thank you Jesus! <3

last summer the girls and i went to new york, and that's where it happened.i was with my mom, my aunt, and my niece and we went to Juniors (you know the place diddy made the making the band guys walk to get him cheescakes...yah there!) everyone got cheescake but i got Red Velvet Cake, the slice was HUGE i couldnt finish it.

It was love at first slice. lmao

I WANT some right now, and no where in Ottawa sells it..and im afraid that if i try and make it myself it will taste horrible and i will never like it again.

so i will just stare at these pictures until Junoirs and I meet again.

I started this post, practically finished it and deleted it all. I'm just going to get to the point.

I went to church today, a youth service. The Pastor talked about sexuality,the body,and marriage--of course i was intrigued, knowing my luck with boys. Anyway i went with an open mind, i haven't been to church in a while and it wasn't my regular church so what was in store-- i had no clue. After watching one of the most powerful sermon's a girl could every watch a lot of the girls broke down. ANYHOW,while everyone was praying and thanking God i found myself crying as well, because i knew that God knows everything i am going through, and have been through and i was just thankful. I left feeling GREAT.

Sometimes i forget how much of an important role God plays in my life, and i know sometimes i put him in the back seat. But every now and again i find myself thanking him, because i know "If he brought me to it, he will bring me through it." I'm working on becoming a better person, i'm not perfect..and my flaws might be a little bit more evident than others, but i'm thankful.

this is one of my favorite gospel songs, and i cry almost every time i play it. [if you haven't noticed already, i'm emotional..and when it comes to this i am very easily moved] i have my mom to thank for that, she never lets me forget that God is #1 in life, and the power of prayer.

IN LOVE WITH THESE SHOES (THE ONES ON THE RIGHT SIDE)sexy 4.5-inch platform sandals comes in six different styles. Louis I love you. I've seen both Christina Millian and Kanye's girl Amber Rose in them..Damn.. Just look at them..Hollaay.. it's like making love..lol..jks. but really though. I think i know what I want for my birthday...it's a MUST!! Excuse me while I pray, (so serious) Dear Lord, I am not really a materialistic individual, but if it is meant to be, you will allow me to have these shoes, if and only if I deserve them. I would greatly treat them with care, and would really appreciate it, very grateful for my 20th birthday. Thank you! with all love, Jay.

So i decided to check my e-mail today, and through all the ten's of facebook and twitter notifications ( http://twitter.com/jaybritt) I came across this e-mail from my friend cj, she always seems to send these chain letters..lol.. even the tricky ones. So while deleting I decided to read this one, and I'm glad I did, this was a inspirational chain letter probing others to stop for a minute, take time in the fast lives that they are so used to living, apart from all the materialistic things in life and set aside some personal, self reflection time. Its always good to havea spiritual side, everyone has one, and everyone believes in something if it isn't God, I believe in God, and others may not, but you do have some sort of faith in something, get in touch with that part. Today a francaphone lady came to my door she said she was from St. Michaels Catholic Church down the street from me and Raineys house and she dropped of 2 church newspapers and a little emblem thing to attach to my key chain, it was of mary.. I dunno, I think God is hinting me to get back into going to church, my friends actually went ot a youth group today for 3pm - 5pm somewhere in ottawa, but i couldn't go because i have this big research essay for my global political economy class due monday, so thats priority,, plus,, its worth 30% of my grade... *yikes* Yeah... but honestly, I was talking with rainey, we have to start going back to church like we use to, back in toronto, we both went to catholic school so it was mandatory we went to mass and stuff, but now that were in university, we are grown, no one to guide is to spirituality, no religion course every year... i dunno, just something to think about,oh and enjoy the chain letter below!PS. THIS POST WASN'T EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE THIS LONG.. I GOT CARRIED AWAY WITH THINGS POPPING UP IN MY HEAD... OH GOSSHH = )

Once upon a time, there was this girl who had four boyfriends.

She loved the 4th boyfriend the most and adored him with rich robes and treated him to the finest of delicacies. She gave him nothing but the best.

She also loved the 3rd boyfriend very much and was always showing him off to neighboring kingdoms... However, she feared that one day he would leave her for another.

She also loved her 2nd boyfriend. He was her confidant and was always kind, considerate and patient with her... Whenever this girl faced a problem, she could confide in him, and he would help her get through the difficult times.

The girls 1st boyfriend was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining her wealth and kingdom. However, she did not love the first boyfriend. Although he loved her deeply, she hardly took notice of him.

One day, the girl fell ill and she knew her time was short. She thought of her luxurious life and wondered, I now have four boyfriends with me, but when I die, I'll be all alone.'

Thus, she asked the 4th boyfriend, I loved you the most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?'

'No way!' replied the 4th boyfriend, and he walked away without another word..

His answer cut like a sharp knife right into her heart. The sad girl then asked the 3rd boyfriend, 'I loved you all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?'

Her heart sank and turned cold. She then asked the 2nd boyfriend, 'I have always turned to you for help and you've always been there for me.

When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?' 'I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!' replied the 2nd boyfriend. 'At the very most, I can only walk with you to your grave.'His answer struck her like a bolt of lightning, and the girl was devastated..

Then a voice called out: 'I'll go with you. I'll follow you no matter where you go.'The girl looked up, and there was her 1st boyfriend. He was very skinny as he suffered from malnutrition and neglect. Greatly grieved, the girl said, 'I should have taken much better care of you when I had the chance!

In truth, you have 4 boyfriends in your lives:

Your 4th boyfriend is your body. No matter how much time and effort you lavish in making it look good; it will leave you when you die.

Your 3rd boyfriend is your possessions, status and wealth. When you die, it will all go to others.

Your 2nd boyfriend is your family and friends. No matter how much they have been there for you, the furthest they can stay by you is up to the grave.

And your 1st boyfriend is your Soul. Often neglected in pursuit of wealth, power and pleasures of the world.

However, your Soul is the only thing that will follow you where ever you go. Cultivate, strengthen and cherish it now, for it is the only part of you that will follow you to the throne of God and continue with you throughout Eternity.

Thought for the day: Remember, when the world pushes you to your knees, you're in the perfect position to pray.

Pass this on to someone you care about - I just did.

Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect. It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections.

AH!, so upset...

This weekend I made a short visit to Toronto for some business. During this trip I made a quick detour downtown Eaton Center to change the size of these shoes i bought..urgg.. but whatever, shoes were worth it!! But yes, the real point of the matter is that this ad was posted on the train, where all the rest of the ads are posted on the train. So I look up and this is what I read, I dont know how to feel about this comment, this advertisement, this statement. I remembered the website and looked it up, and started reading about some interesting stuff, some kind of charity. It sfunny because this women on the train was the one that pointed it out to me, and she was quite upset, she felt as if it was some sort of racisit comment. I dunno, about the racist thing, but she seemed pretty upset and wanted to pop of that black thingy and rip it down... i dunno, just something that happened and had to blog about... Comments are open to what you feel about it...

I promised myself i wouldn't give in, like every other blog and post anything about the Chris Brown, Rihanna situation. BUT after hearing that this guy can spend up to 9 years in prison, even with her testimony makes me really wonder the extent of the situation. I felt bad for her, everyone looking down on her decision to get back with him, its clear and very obvious she loves him, but i question whether the feelings are really mutual. I mean how could you beat her soo bad, that there was blood splattered all over your RENTED Lambo (lmao), and her wicked dress. I meannnnnn YOU did a number on her. BUT nowwwww im super disappointed in her decision to get back together..i mean we aren't friends or anything so my opinion doesn't really matter but dang, home boy almost killed your ass and your talking about "hes my angel, he doesn't mean it" i wanna slap some sense into her myself. I will always be a Rihanna fan, just like i will always be a Chris Brown fan..but geezz talk about LOST ratings. They should both be setting examples, and they just tarnished their whole reputation. Congrats you Idiots, Congrats.

Canada's economy shrank at an annual pace of 3.4% in the fourth quarter of 2008, Statistic Canada reported Monday, as the global slowdown pulled the country into its worst downturn since the early 1990s.

The federal agency also said gross domestic product fell 1% in December from the previous month.

The contraction between October and December was the first quarterly decline since Canada's last recession in 1991-92.

Meanwhile, the agency revised its third-quarter GDP growth to 0.9% from 1.3%. For all of 2008, the economy grew 0.5% from 2.7% the previous year.
